Overview

Mathematics permeates almost every discipline of science and technology. It is not only a tool for understanding abstract models of real world phenomena while solving practical problems, but also the language of commerce, engineering, and other sciences, such as biology, physics, and computing.

The BSc in Mathematics (MATH) is a four-year program that includes seven tracks:

•   Applied Mathematics
•   Computer Science
•   General Mathematics
•   Mathematics and Physics
•   Pure Mathematics
•   Pure Mathematics (Advanced)*
•   Statistics and Financial Mathematics

* The Pure Mathematics (Advanced) Track is specially designed for mathematically gifted students. Students in this track will study a series of mathematics courses at a deeper level, which better prepare the students to pursue postgraduate studies
